Sneak Video Peek at Marie Claire’s 2012 Naked Issue
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2012 events, Editorial, Lady Kaye, Modeling on February 15, 2012
This Monday (20th Feb) Marie Claire South Africa’s annual Naked Issue goes on sale.
This year 31 celebrities stripped it all off for the Burn Foundation Southern Africa. We felt what it was like to feel vulnerable and exposed for an afternoon – but for the thousands of people in our country who suffer from scars, disfiguration and social stigma as a result of being burnt; those feelings of vulnerability and self-consciousness are an every day reality they cannot “cover up.”
The Burn Foundation rehabilitates burn victims, helps to fund their hospital and surgery bills, and tries to educate people about preventing fires – if every home was equipped with a bucket of sand (many South Africans cannot afford proper housing let alone smoke alarms) a huge amount of fires could be controlled and extinguished before significant damage is caused.

Little Red
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events, Alternative, Lady Kaye, London, Modeling, Test Shoots on February 6, 2012
As many of you know I was fortunate enough to work with Rick Nunn for a couple of days in 2011. After shooting “White in the Woods” we got onto something creative and attempted “Little Red.” Rick burgled his parent’s house for the basket, rented the cape from a local fancy dress shop, and I put together the rest with a little help from my theatrical wardrobe.
Rick shot the first three digitally – and the rest on expired film which is what caused the unusual colour tones and grain on the later images.
The first image above is my favorite – which is yours?
So those were the digital… but Rick also shot this on FILM with his Canon 1V-hs with the Canon EF 135mm F/2.0 L on expired Fuji X-tra ISO400 (which is where these amazing tones come from).

As I mentioned in my “Streetcat” jeans and vest post, my modeling agency are keen for me to get a few more photos looking innocent and not wearing much makeup.
Rick Nunn (of the internet) shot these photos for me in Lincoln Forest. I got bitten a countless number of times by midges or mozzies or whatever lives out there, but the images were worth it.
My Agency also really like this headshot Rick took of me. Its a strange angle, but its nice and fresh.
- You can see this photo (and some of the others) much much bigger on Rick’s Flickr.
- You can also check out Rick’s website here and you can like his facebook page here.
- I have a facebook page too… these images were up there months ago. Like it here.

A streetcat named Sam.
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events, Fashion, Lady Kaye, Modeling, Test Shoots on January 17, 2012
In early 2011 Full Circle Model and Celebrity management put me on their books and made me a basic portfolio out of images I had collected from artistic projects with photographers over the years.
Beautiful as underwater and artistically driven images are, and as much as lingerie shows off the female form, my agency felt clients would feel more comfortable with the sexy and creative being diluted a little with some “digestible” and “normal” lifestyle images.
“Girl in jeans in street, girl hailing cab, lady being domestic with cookies or something” were the words my booker left me with to guide the direction of the test shoots I was likely to encounter whilst abroad.
These shots Rick took of me in the street, with unbrushed hair, minimal makeup and the very simple wardrobe of jeans and a vest turned out exceptionally well and my agency love them. *insert… [ Read more ]
Deep Blue – Rick Nunn – Project 50
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events, Gallery Exhibitions, Lady Kaye, London, Modeling, Test Shoots, Tips and Tricks on October 11, 2011
Remember that awesome photographer doing that awesome Project 50 thing I told you about yesterday? Well not only did he shoot me for day 11, but he also shot me for day 12.
Rick ordered an “o flash” online and decided I was a good test subject for his first shoot with it.
An “O flash” or “ring flash” is a ring of light that fits around the lens of the camera. Here is a picture to illustrate.
As you can see, the o-flash can be attached to the camera which makes it a popular choice for photographers at festivals or on the move as they do not have to carry bulky softboxes (those big square boxes on stands covered in sand bags and often with wires connecting to a generator or plug point) or beauty dishes (those big satellite looking lights.)

Rick Nunn – Project 50 – Milk & Honey
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events, Gallery Exhibitions, Lady Kaye, Modeling on October 10, 2011
50 photographs – over 50 consecutive days – all shot with a 50mm lens = Project 50. 100% awesome.
Rick is one of my favourite photographers, though he regards himself as a designer with a passion for photography rather than a professional photographer. If you take a look at his Flickr and his website you might take my side and view him as the camera wielding guru I do.
2011 sees Rick working on his third project 50, and I was lucky enough to be invited to take part as the subject matter for day 11.
You can view this photograph really really big here. There is also a wicked video which he does for each photograph where he goes through the lighting setup he uses and as a result of being in day 11 you can see me briefly making an appearance in said
FHM’s 89th Sexiest Woman in the World
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events, Competitions, Editorial, Lady Kaye, Lingerie, London, Modeling, Personal, Test Shoots on October 6, 2011
FHM South Africa came out with their 100 sexiest women in the world list earlier this year…. and much to my shock and disbelief I was on it!!
Thank you to Rio for bringing me a copy of the magazine, all the way from South Africa so that I could scan in the above photograph as well as the whole page:
Yep – I beat Ke$ha, Selena Gomez, Britney (99 – she barely made it this year), Kim Kardashian, Eva Longaria and a coupe of people I’ve never heard of. I had never entered a beauty pageant before or any sort of competition like this – but thanks to a series of online votes from the interwebs at large I was honoured with an official sexy stamp which I find puzzling, amazing, delightful and with a history of childhood bullying and low self esteem, a tad bizarre.

Boudoir Shoot with Noel Tosefsky – Round 1
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Lady Kaye, Lingerie, Modeling on September 30, 2011
I’ve been slacking off on blogging shoots – and although many of you probably “like” my facebook page ~ thank you for the support – I’m really honored ~ and have probably seen many of the images I’ll be posting over the next few weeks, I think that a lot of the images on the page deserve a place on the site. I can honestly say I have learnt something with every shoot I have done, and I am so grateful for the wonderful people I have been privileged to work with.
This shoot was Neal’s first boudoir shoot. I met Neal through Robyn early 2010 and through twitter and the #27dinners we became friends.
Neal enjoys taking photographs, and I enjoy being in photographs so he decided to bring me on board to tackle his first boudoir shoot and first shoot with someone there with… [ Read more ]
Andrej Pejic
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Fashion, Modeling on February 28, 2011
Andrej Pejic is the latest androgynous model to take the world by storm. Signed by storm in 2010, this 19 year old boy from Australia has been shot for a plethora of prestigious and fashionable magazines and has walked the runway for Paul Smith, Raf Simons, John Galliano and Jean Paul Gaultier where he modeled both his mens range and the show-stopper bridal piece for his female haute couture line.
Pejic, though not the norm, has been embraced into the fashion world, serving as a fresh canvas for designers wanting to further push the boundries of fashion and society. Fashion has held a recurring obsession with gender roles, mascu-femme, girls in boys clothing, boys in girls clothing… Pejic manages to fill both masculine and feminine roles and stands almost gender neutral, his height, slim hips and chiseled cheekbones making him the perfect clothes hanger.
